Are we wrapping them in gold now? Did taco bell delete the drive through and just become a steakhouse? What are we doing? Is Taco Bell trying to go bankrupt?

I remember when I was younger in my teens in the early 00s and hearing the Doors and Hendrix more on the radio but the biggest difference I have seen in the Doors from then and now has been on YouTube. In the early 00s and even the early 10s there were plenty of Doors live performances on YouTube and you could see the band in many different ways. They were like the Beatles on YouTube. Now, since 2013 and I guess Re-Evolution all of those Doors performances were taken down/ off YouTube and some have been re-uploaded but not many people know how to find them or see them. The Doors in the 20s on YouTube have become more like the Grateful Dead. Where all we got is the Hollywood Bowl and recorded audio shows by fans. It isn’t all bad because we got new pocket footage of Jim in many cases and Palace in the Canyon. Which I don’t remember in 2012. As a older head the change drives me nuts, but have noticed it has added to the legend of Jim and Ray to gen Z and also noticed how it has kept the Doors popular with Gen Z whereas I think Gen Z is less interested in say, the Beatles. Has anyone else noticed this change? Like I’m a big Doors fan and videos I played at parties in college back in the day just disappeared.

Even in 2010 instagram was a social media network for friends that you knew not complete strangers. Same with facebook but now those outlets promote videos and material from strangers and destroyed local friend networks. Everyone wants to be TikTok. It’s ridiculous it’s just filled with ads and influencers who are just trying to promote. Not look for friends. Facebook is just for marketplace now. Social media used to be for people who kept in touch with friends who moved away, family or even finding a relationship. Now it’s about marketing, influencers, and bragging about how lavishly you are living while everyone else is suffering. Do you think social media has lost touch with what it was designed for and corporate greed/marketing has destroyed it? Does it ever come back?

People getting out of college or graduating highschool can’t afford 2k apartments and $1500 studios all while boomers pay $900 for their homes. Same with gas. The younger generations aren’t prepared for this so why are we doing it? For the old generation? The older generations get to raise the prices and enjoy their horrible market from the top. The younger generations are the ones suffering.
